Summary
Baz Luhrmann's maximalist jukebox musical Moulin Rouge! turns 25 years old this month, which seems like the perfect opportunity to revisit the film and contemplate its impact on the musical genre in the years since. Tim is joined by resident music expert Zev Burrows for a spectacular, spectacular conversation about a film that had a major impact on both of them, sometimes to break it down, sometimes just to gush. Before turning to Moulin Rouge! , Zev catches up with the 1985 feminist coming of age drama Smooth Talk , while courtesy of Patreon supporter Maxwell Jacobson, Tim is grappling with 2023's romantic thriller Eileen . Also, Zev has a new website! Be sure to check it out!
